The question that must always be asked when such initiatives are proposed is, who will pay for it? Often this question reveals that it is always the case that you'll be forcefully acquiring from a producer and giving to a non-producer.

What's the difference between social ownership/control of the means of production and very very high taxation that unconditionally funnels money from the (rich) owners of the means of production to the public?
